It is undeniable that many find raccoons to be cute. They are clever animals, and have their human-like hands and bandit masks. However, when those cute animals begin trying to share your home, it may be time for animal control/removal. These pests can take up residence in your attic or even your chimney, and may threaten your domestic pets.

Those adorable little hands are used to tear at your roof's shingles in order to gain access to the attic. Not only is this a late night disturbance, because raccoons are nocturnal, but it's bad for your roof, too. They'll also take advantage of an open garage, an abandoned car, or they'll try to build a home under your deck.

The major problem is that raccoons can carry parasites and viruses. For instance, most raccoons carry roundworms. Roundworm eggs can remain live in the feces and can be transmitted to humans upon contact. Additionally, a good percentage of urban raccoons are carriers of the rabies virus which can also be transmitted to humans through bites and scratches.

Since it is very possible that these animals will carry some diseases your pets, or even you and your family can potentially be harmed. If something has been near droppings, it might be infected with roundworm. If your dog has been around the secretions he could catch distemper, or if the animals fight, rabies.

Even if a raccoon isn't living somewhere in or around your house, you may still hear it rummaging in your garbage cans late at night. If your cat or dog investigates, a territorial fight might occur. Depending on the size of your dog and the strength of your cat, the raccoon could win that fight.

Another problem that can arise is with regard to your yard. Cleaning up spilled garbage is frustrating, but these animals can also tear up your lawn and garden searching for food and grubs. Locking garbage can lids and proper fencing can help, but it won't eliminate the problem.

The damage to pets and your home can be costly, both emotionally and with regard to repair expenses. This is why it is important to contact a professional for animal control removal. Professionals know exactly what to do, and can take the necessary steps to make sure the animals are removed properly and humanly and also make sure that the animals wont come back. When the raccoon is trapped and removed from your area, it is permanently relocated, and then you, your pets, and your home will be safe.
